Marcel Oosterwijk

In my paintings I search for the tension between control and surrender.
Paint is not applied, but felt — a direct translation of energy, motion, and emotion.
I work intuitively; every layer, mark, and color is a response to the moment.
The result is not an image, but an event — a trace of freedom on the surface.
My work is a dialogue between matter and emotion, between gravity and light.
It is not meant to explain, but to breathe.

On painting I'm a autodidact since 1998.. Sculpturing I was taught by Peter van Borssum Waalkens.
